Description:

You can outrun the past—until it’s in the passenger seat.

In this funny, wise, and heartbreaking debut from Emily Feldman, a daughter’s road trip with her father becomes a theatrical journey across more than just state lines. Though 30-something Ella has nearly given up on life, she agrees to accompany her father Lou on a long-distance trip to adopt a rescue dog. Guided by a narrator called Maps and interspersed with memories and phone calls from Ella’s mother, Peg, their journey reveals hard truths as their pasts slowly rise to the surface. Is “the best we could” good enough, especially when the inevitable is right before our eyes? And if we don’t choose to acknowledge its eventuality, can we really say we didn’t know anything when it happens? A very funny, achingly sad tragedy that will keep you thinking long after leaving the theatre.

“Captivating and imaginative.” – New York Times
